Over a year ago, before I discovered TFL...I bet you guys are regretting it now, I believe I read somewhere on the Internet a story about two Olympic shooters; one, a pistol champion and the other a rifle champion, who volunteered to delay the enemy from catching the people trying to escape a village during the fall of Poland, I believe.
I believe the story said that at least a platoon entered the village and very few soldiers from the platoon got out of the village not wounded or dead.
The Olympic champions fought a terrific delaying tactic against greater odds.
